Emily and Jennie interview Tiffany Sostar, a University of Calgary student doing her undergraduate honours thesis on pornography. Tiffany believes pornography can and should provide more positive representations of body types, gender, queerness, etc. For her thesis, Tiffany compared two pornographic films, Fuckstyles of the Queer and Famous, which won a Feminist Porn Award in 2012, and Unsexpected, a more mainstream production. In this interview she talks about the differences between mainstream and feminist pornography and how we can make porn more inclusive. Original air date: April 15, 2013.
